I looked around, getting antsy. "Kinda stupid to have a mountain trail that end half way up the mountain, huh."Yusuke stated. "I guess they don't encourage much camping around here."
Botan said,"Yes, the stronghold is very well hidden, but we should be able to find it eventually by following Yukina's energy."
"Ba, why are you still using that stupid compass?"Kuwabara asked. "Just follow my way. The red pinky string."I blinked a couple of times as he waved his pinky around. Even Dark was blinking at that statement!
I stated,"He's lost it."
"Completely."Ammara agreed.
Botan asked,"The what?"
"The moment I saw her, my love stretched out and tied us together. You see, let's follow the thread of destiny!"Kuwabara exclaimed holding his pinky up in the air. 'What a nimrod.'I thought watching him run of in the direction he pointed his finger.
~Time Skip~
"Yukina!"Kuwabara shouted into the middle of no where. We walked up behind him. 'At least the genius got us to a path.'I thought, only for him to run off the path.
Botan said,"Wait Kuwabara! It's this way."
"Yeah, but I just got a really bad feeling, let's go around."Kuwabara stated.
Botan said,"My compass says fallow the path, we don't have time for detours." She walked forward only to trip on something and be pulled in the air by a web! 'No please no, no, no, no, no, no.'I thought. Yusuke ran forward and tried to get her.
"Botan!"He exclaimed. Ammara ran up behind him while I stayed where I was. She stopped moving, only to show she was stuck in a web! I whimpered and my ears dropped against my head pathetically. Dark had went back into my hair to hide.
Botan asked,"A little help?" Red eyes gleamed from the darkness.
"Stay still."Ammara said. We were finally able to see the creature on the web, and it was a spider demon! I whimpered and went behind a tree holding on to it while Botan screamed. The spider demon was light purple and looked completely like a spider except for its front legs were human arms! His face was like a human except fur was on his forehead and cheeks. He had blond hair that framed it and sharp teeth sticking out of his mouth. His eyes were completely red!
The spider demon said,"Ah, what a nice catch."
"Ouhh, it's a spider demon this time. Hey, let her go!"Yusuke exclaimed.
The spider demon asked,"Go? Now why would I let her go if I was planning to drink her blood? Ah, if you want to save her you have to come up and fight me in the evil spider's lair."He looked from Botan to Kuwabara in the others only for Kuwabara to have his Spirit Sword out and slash at him. Yusuke looked around and spotted me behind the tree.
"What are you doing back there?"Yusuke yelled.
I laughed nervously and said,"I'm just going to stick this one out okay!"
"Uh, no one's going to get between Yukina and me!"Kuwabara exclaimed and started swinging everywhere cutting Botan down. Yusuke ran and caught her while Ammara sent a Spirit Arrow at the spider, which knocked a leg off!
The spider demon said,"You can't possibly be human!"
"Yep."Yusuke answered.
Kuwabara and Ammara said,"We just happen to be really really tough!"The spider demon shouted in outrage and turned his front arms into spider legs. Yusuke powered up Spirit Energy into his hand.
"Pardon me if I make this quick."Yusuke interjected. The spider demon jumped at Yusuke and Yusuke punched a hole through him! The spider demon flew back and died! I smiled and came out from behind the tree standing next to Botan.
Botan exclaimed,"Nice hook!"
"Thanks, if this detective thing doesn't work, maybe I can try exterminating."Yusuke said.
I exclaimed,"Way to go Bubba!"
"And why were you hiding behind the tree! Why didn't you help rescue me?!"Botan turned around and shouted in my face.
I laughed nervously and said,"Well you see-"
"Poor little Ann is scared of spiders."Yusuke teased.
I yelled at him,"Oh, shut up!" They all busted out laughing while I pouted.
~Time Skip~
I looked around and listened to everyone's heartbeats as they were sound asleep. "Well Dark, it's just you and me."I said and stood up before walking in the direction we were headed. Dark whined from behind me. "Yeah, I know it's not a good idea, but the sooner we get there, the sooner she doesn't suffer anymore. The sooner Hiei doesn't have to worry anymore." I felt my eyes soften at the mention of him.
A voice rang out,"You must really like him." I turned around and saw Ammara. I laughed softly.
"You have no idea."I answered.
Ammara sighed and said,"I guess there is no stopping you."
"Nu-uh."I said.
Ammara replied,"Well then, I guess I'm joining you." I raised an eyebrow at her.
"You do know we are going to give our brothers a heart attack, right?"I said.
Ammara giggled and said,"That's the fun part."I grinned and rolled my eyes before Ammara and I started walking with Dark trailing behind us.
~Time Skip~
Ammara and I were walking, enjoying the silence, when I heard it, something cutting through the air. I grabbed the back of Ammara's shirt and pulled her to the ground with me just as a black arrow hit the tree to the right of us. "What the-"I said only to be cut of by laughter.
A girl came out of the woods, she had medium length blue hair and glowing green eyes. She wore a blue kimono with white flowers on it and sandals. She had a pure white bow in one hand and black arrows in a holder on her back. She said,"You must be the strangers everyone was talking about, but I could have sworn they said there were five of you."
"Aww, would you look at that Ammara, we're famous."I stated grinning. Ammara laughed.
The girl pouted and whispered,"Meany." I was about to say something when I smelt something behind me. I quickly summoned my sword and blocked a lance! I struggled, but pushed it away from me causing my attacker to jump back. I looked to see a boy with spiky black hair and coal eyes. He had a brown vest on with blue jeans and black combat boots. His lance was pure metal and had black feathers hanging off where the blade met the handle. "Hey! I wanted to take them on alone!"
"Hn."The boy replied. I felt my eye twitch.
Ammara leaned over and whispered,"He reminds me of Hiei."I nodded.
The girl yelled,"Hey! Secrets don't make friends!"
"But friends make secrets."Ammara answered. The girl paused for a second and then started laughing.
I leaned over and whispered,"I think she's nuts." Ammara nodded.
"You know, it's sad you're going to have to die, you're entertaining!"The girl said laughing. I smirked and rested my sword on my shoulder while the boy walked over and stood by the girl.
I replied,"Tch, tch, tch, who said we're the ones dying?"I grinned and the boy and I charged at each other. He swung and I blocked it putting my foot behind me. I saw two arrows go between us, one blue and one black. I kicked the leg behind me at the boy, successfully kicking him into a tree. An arrow shot by and cut me on the cheek. "Hey!"I looked and saw the girl standing there smirking. I smirked as I saw Ammara behind her. I turned back at the boy just as he started to get up and sighed. "They just never learn."I heard a thump as the boy charged at me and quickly swung my sword, cutting the boy in half. I turned and saw the girl with an arrow through her head.
"You know, sometimes I hate this."She said. I nodded. "But you know what I don't get?"
I asked,"What?"
"This guy is supposed to be some major crime lord, what's with all the weak demons? I mean since we've gotten here we've breezed through every single one."Ammara said.
I scrunched my eyebrows up and was about to reply when Ammara went flying back in the tree behind her! I yelled,"Ammara!" I went to run to her only to feel something pierce my stomach. I looked down to see in the side of my stomach some kind of hand or drill. I looked up and met Ammara's eyes. Dark fell to the floor whimpering.
"Ann!"Ammara yelled. I fell on my knees and started to fall to the side, the last thing I see being a large man with black hair and glasses with a white haired man on his shoulder.
~Time Skip~
I groaned and shifted feeling something cold underneath me. I tried to sit up, only to be pushed down. "Ann, stay down."A familiar voice said. I groaned and pushed her away before sitting up, only feeling horrible pain in my side. "I told you to stay down." I opened my eyes to see Ammara right in front of me. I looked around, before spotting a familiar figure next to Ammara, looking worriedly.
I whispered,"Yukina..."Yukina nodded at me.
"Are you alright?"Yukina asked.
I smiled and said,"I'm fine, but are you alright? They haven't hurt you have they?"
"I'm fine."Yukina said and smiled. I grinned happily before looking down at my wound. It was smaller than before, thanks to my demon blood, but still looked pretty bad.
Ammara said,"Well now that you're awake, let me wrap it."I nodded and she tore off a piece of her jacket and used it to wrap around my stomach. Her jacket was now barely there.
"Why are you here?"Yukina asked.
I smiled and answered,"Well, we're here to save you."I then blinked. "Well, at least protect you."
"Yeah, our brothers will be busting us out of here."Ammara said. Yukina smiled sadly.
She said,"Your brothers?"
"Yeah."I answered.
She said,"What's it like, having a brother?"Ammara and I scrunched our eyes at each other.
"Don't you have a brother Yukina?"Ammara asked.
She answered,"Yes, but I don't know who he is, or where he is." 'What!'I thought as Ammara and I looked at each other wide eyed.
